Two UK mothers challenge the two-child benefit limit, citing discrimination and human rights violations.

Two UK mothers, who became pregnant through rape or coercion, are challenging the government's two-child benefit limit in the High Court. They argue that the policy, which restricts financial support to the first two children, is discriminatory and violates their human rights. Represented by the Child Poverty Action Group, they seek to extend the existing exemption for non-consensually conceived children to include all children, regardless of birth order.
